- croes 3y agoAnd still people can't afford to buy house like their parents did. Maybe the problem isn't jobs but wealth distribution.
- SideQuark 3y agoPeople are buying vastly bigger houses than their parents did. Adjusted for inflation, and most importantly, for square footage, median US housing costs are quite flat. Last I ran the numbers, per sq foot, prices are slightly lower than in the past. Run them yourself, then check back.
- ipaddr 3y agoWhat poor person works for Telsa? What poor person gets aspiration because of Spacex. A basketball player is cheaper and does a better job inspiring. The poor cannot afford to run adwords campaigns and can't even get a credit card. Facebooks ads even more expensive. The poor are not looking for short term rentals and cannot afford to live in the most expensive cities using airbnb. They live in rundown rent controlled places. Paypal allows the poor to buy/sell.
- theGnuMe 3y agoYou missed the AirBnB effect of driving rents up and kicking poor people out of apartments.
